Манифест диалектических синтетизма и архитектуры
14. The verbal–associative method wakens an active form-generating fantasy. The primary images generated by it and structured by the architectural dialectical method become a source of generation of fundamentally new compositional three-dimensional solutions.
15. An architectural form is a structural and plastic integrity manifested in a specific figurative image of the external volume and internal space.
16. Not technology and technological progress, but sociology and human well-being become the priority direction of architecture development. The impact of architecture on society as a whole and on an individual, on behavior and mood, on spirit and will – and vice versa, the anthroposocial impact on architecture are priority directions for theoretical and practical search.
17. The purpose of dialectical synthetism and architecture is to create a new beauty that is born at the junctions of constructive form-generating oppositions and in accordance with the golden ratio standard of the classics.
18. Dialectical architectural composition is not based on the denial or the praise of the old or the new, but on the desire for synthetic knowledge, for the maximum coverage of all form-generating possibilities and their structuring.
19. The internal synthesis of the principles of classical and modern architecture will create a new architecture based both on succession and innovation.
20. Architecture should not become a slave to technology, programming and "artificial intelligence". Architecture is created by the spirit – in the unity of mind, heart and experience.
21. Our soul, our heart with a sense of beauty and imagination available to us – this is the environment which accommodates the creative event of transcription of semantic and kinetic energy into the actual infinity of forms.
22. In the architectural form-generating search, the individual self-expression is called to achieve a degree of social significance, a union of the architect's subjective creative energy and an objective social request. Architecture at all times becomes a synthesis of diverse human efforts and a harbinger of the new beauty.
23. Architecture is the arena of human activity and communication. Its task is to promote peace between people and the harmony of the human spirit.
